You have 100 comments on this thing! Dang.

@Borski and Nai –

thanks for that. but i don’t know how to work on CSS *sigh*…can you post a sample? on the theme editor? if it’s not too much of a bother..

A nice place to start learning some CSS is w3schools.com/css/. I think you’ll find editing your lists easier than you could expect.

@paige –

Is there a way to make this only show a certain number at a time, and upon ‘refresh’ show new ones? So the default could be five on my sidebar, but when someone returns or refreshes they’d get a new batch of sites I recommend?

Not natively. You can tweak the plugin to do so, but the current version doesn’t do that.

@Joris –

The benefit would be that you can have multiple ZoC powerblogrolls in your site that can be different in style.

True, nice suggestion!

// Determine target for link
$target = ($book->link_target != NULL)?’ target=”‘.$book->link_target.’”‘:”;

// Show link and concatenate $target
if ($book->link_name != NULL && $showLinkName)
echo “link_url .”‘”.$target.”>”.$book->link_name.”\n”;

(tested on WP 2.5, but I guess it wil work on 2.6 as well)

Thanks for writing ZoC powerblogroll. Any particular reason why the options are configured by globals? I think it would make Zoc powerblogroll more flexible if other parameters beside the category could be given in the function call.

$zoc_data = array(
’showCats’ = true,
’showLinkDescription’ = false,
’showLinkNotes’ = true,
’showLinkFeed’ = false,
);
wp_zoc_powerblogroll($zoc_data)

The benefit would be that you can have multiple ZoC powerblogrolls in your site that can be different in style.

thanks so much for the help..

muchos gracias!

does that work on wordpress?

That works in any site, since CSS is browser side technology.

Find the blogroll element on your blog, fix they height to the value you want and use “overflow:scroll” or “overflow:auto” on it.

hope you can help me out with this one.

Thanks for your responses. I figured out what I was doing wrong (with the help of a cousin who works in networking) – I wasn’t putting a \ in before the quotes (“).

As for the “base target=”_blank””, unfortunately, that makes all the links on the page open in a new window, including all my sidebar and other internal links. But it’s a great one to know, so thanks for sharing it, Kaz.

This is a great plug-in and I will be sure to add a link to your page when I do a summary of my favorite WordPress plug-ins.

If you want to see your plug-in in action, it’s at:

(Not many links there yet, but it’s up. :)

Thanks again!

P.P.

Hmmm… can’t add a screen capture either….

Yep, that’s the problem of talking about html in html :-(
The solution would be to transform the < into &lt; (which is what I just did) but this is not for humans, and certainly not for non-coders. I must find a plugin.

“?php get_footer(); ?”

Replacing all the initial quotes ” with carats . Watching for where there should be a “real” <!

Now what do we see above?
Kaz

In your page template before the

“php get_header();”
“div d=”zoc_powerblogroll”
I add:
“”

The “base target=_blank”
